In the Semi-finals Darren out stretched and out played Sue, running outy a 21-11 winner and in the other game, Alistair Adams had a battle on his hands. Both Alistair and John played some great bowls. with neither player really gettin on top of their opponent. This Semi-final could have gone either way but it was Alistair who shone through at the end to win 21-19.
The final between Darren Edgerley and Alistair Adams, carried on where the early games started and produced some excellent bowling. Darren took the early lead at 6-1 and Alistair, despite playing some good bowls, struggled to get that lead back. When the score reached 10-6 Darren found another gear and some great bowls to dominate the rest of the final. Eventually running out as a 21-10 winner. It really was a great final to watch.
Congratulations to Darren, a worthy Champion, and all the other last eight competitors for producing a great finals day.
